WordPress MU

I have the wrap of our site showing in the blogs now but I am seeing that the themes are getting in the way of the wrap. I believe I will have to modify the theme so it fits into the space I have for the blog. Is there a good place to go for a tutorial on modifying a theme?

Thanks,

Well in general you should just get familiar with CSS, and theres lots of resources out there if you're completely new. A vital tool you should use is the Firebug extension for Firefox. It will let you edit the CSS of the page 'on the fly' and see the results instantly in your browser without refresh.

Thanks. I will see if it is available for my Mac - I find a lot of the extensions are not for macs. I have a PC and can use it if not.

Firebug is fine, as is the web developer extension.

Also, for file editing, give Taco a go.
If you have Apple's Developer Tools installed, you can also use Dashcode for file editing as well.

helen, also go here :
http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Themes
http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development

That will give you all the details on how a theme works. I think in your case, you'll probably wind out stripping down most of it, and maybe enforcing it to inherit the styles from the wrapper (if that's what you're going for).
